Greetings! Tis I your littlest homie, and favorite Gnomie. Doctor Stumbleduck Wetnoodle Brown. What a pickle we found ourselves in that mine. What started off as just a spooky uneasy place to be, quickly became a spooky uneasy place to possibly die. 😯 we were resting after our previous journey into the mine. When along came one of those really pretty elves. I don't know much about him but my keen intellect and attention to detail tells me that he used to be in a boy band. Possibly set out now to try a solo career. I hope his dance moves are better than his skills with an instrument. He must think we're a band too because he was very excited to join up with us. Although can't say I blame him we are pretty awesome sauce people. Except the flying devil. She still frightens me. Back into the mine we went, exploring we did go. Not much to tell at first. The 2 big guys almost smooshed me several times. They just run around smashing things with very little regard for who might just be walking around or using the bathroom. We did however encounter a large unusual worm. After it was slain, the giant cut it open and started digging through its entrails. I puked a little bit in my mouth. He did find some golden gut nuggets though. He handed one to me, and I almost puked again but I took it. When a giant hands you something, it would be unwise to refuse. We then searched a little bit more of the mine, and that's when trouble began. Several more of those "Not ghosts" appeared. Of course the giant and the other big people all derp derp derp rushed forward trying to smash these things. Great folks and brave to the last. However not incredibly bright. The smashing and yelling and fighting these "not ghosts" went on forever. Really I counted. It was looking very dire indeed. Our giant got his noggin clocked pretty hard. Which i imagine it's a very tough noggin to clock. Even the boy band got knocked out. Or perhaps he partook in to many zimas. Yet somehow we did prevail. A lot battered and alot bruised... well them not me. I know better to stay in back away from the ouchies. But we did it. Now we are back outside camping again. We're going to go back in the mine again tomorrow. Hopefully without any more drama. Stumbleduck out.

I have never been so pleased I hired Garthak. His service in that last encounter was exemplary. I gave him a bonus of 3 pearls worth 30g for his efforts. The goliath put forth a valiant effort as well. Taking on those ghosts singlehandedly was impressive. So we rogues had to save him, but what else is new? Hopefully we can find some useful trinkets to be wortgh all this trouble.

Back into the mine we go. The first room we went into our bearded employer's jaw went slack at a bunch of rocks so I helped him close his mouth again. If he isn't careful a bird might nest in his mouth. Then we found some kind of bucket and winch to take us deeper into the mine. I cranked us down until someone yelled at us from the bottom and our bucket fell knocking some of my friends over. That made me angry. I charged in to hurt the one who hurt my friends and it turned out to be a short skeleton with a pick. After two blows from my mighty ax he crumbled. I hit him so hard that the stone alter next to me shattered as well! Three more of the dwarf worm things came slithering out of a mine tunnel. My cowardly friend ran away from the worms. He is a work in progress. Someday he may gain some courage. The gnome made a ball of fire appear next to me. It was hot and not very helpful so I'm not quite sure why he did it. I splattered two of the worms while the third retreated up the tunnel. We could hear more worms coming from the tunnel and I can't wait to crush them too! My cowardly friend told me to hit the mine's supporting timbers so I smashed them with one clean blow. I helped the bird lady and my newest friend pick up some shiny rocks and we escaped the mine before it crumbled down on top of us. We went back to the city where I beat up some bad people. There were lots of other people watching me including my friends. I ended up making a lot of money just for beating these bad people up! Then we left looking for some guy who lives in a tower on an island. There was another bird lady who flew up out of the cliff side. My little friend that I have been carrying said put in a platinum and she will leave you alone. I started shoving money into the alter to get the stinky liquid and smeared it all over myself and some of my friends so the new bird lady would leave us alone. My little friend told me to jump off of the cliff so I jumped. We didn't fall as I expected! We were just floating! It has to have been ghosts! I'm not going across the ghost bridge! The bird lady told me she would fly me across even though she has been adamant about not being able to lift me with her wings. She said the as long as I kept my legs moving and gave us a running start she could do it. WE FLEW! It was the best thing ever! Now she can't say she can't do it. I have seen it. We reached the island and the doors said knock and enter. They knocked and opened the door and we were hit by some intense cold wind. Some of my friends doubled over in pain and went to sleep. It wasn't that bad. I guess it is about time that we go inside.

HHUUUZZZAAAHHH Doctor Stumbleduck Wetnoodle Brown here. As we continue to search this mine it becomes more and more apparent that these folks I now call friends truly need my help. We found a room full of carts with golden ore that still need to be smelted. Our employer was very excited about that. I took one of the rocks because rocks are fun. We found our way to an old elevator to take us deeper into the mine. We were going down quite nicely thanks to my giant friend. If he ever decides to give up adventuring he has a future in the elevator trade. Some jerk faces at the bottom broke our elevator though and we came crashing down. OUCH. oh course there were more "not ghosts" and those dwarf worms. The 2 big guys went running at the things and smashing away. Even the other guys went charging in. Leaving me. Alone. By myself. 😟 I made a fireball appear next to my big friends to try and keep the worms away from him. I'd hate to see him get his noggin clocked again. Then the bad part came. Our giant smashed so much that he ruined the structural supports for this mine. It started to collapse on us. We were lucky enough to barely get out alive. So F that mine. I don't need that kind of drama in my life, so we left. We made it to a large city and I was most profitable. That gold ore rock I took, I kind of made it look like real gold. So I know it's not totally on the up and up so I disguised myself to look like a dwarf. Then I went to the bank and exchange the gold for 10 platinum. Which I later bet on the giant to win fights. I made alot of money. So off we were again to find a great wizard. We had an encounter with some crazy bird lady but I figured out how to keep us all safe. Then the giant and I leaped off the cliff because we are of course the most brave. And we didn't fall. We found a hidden bridge. Very clever, I like this wizard fellow. I can't wait to meet him. I went and knocked on his front door. I don't remember much after that. But I have a huge friggin headache.

Everyone was too afraid to enter the tower after being hit by some magic cold so I went in. The ceiling looked like the night sky covered with stars. I threw a rock to see how high the ceiling was and started dreaming. There was a dark skinned woman with a bunch of tiny goblins and a bald man. When I stopped dreaming some of my friends were already entering the room after me. I picked up the rock and threw it at the ceiling again and it was much closer than I thought because the rock came flying back at me way faster than I thought. I was asked to spin the one statue so I did. Then everyone was playing with the pillars which ended up making a staircase appear. We went up and found a big horn and a giant crab. The crab had a door on its bottom so I picked it up and my little blue friend crawled under and the crab started MOVING! I tipped it over onto its back and grabbed my ax. It attacked my blue friend which made me angry. Hundreds of tiny crabs began swarming out of the giant crab. I crushed the giant crab with my maul scattering the tiny crabs as they scurried away in fear. The bird lady climbed into the crab and found a gold stick and another gold bent thing. I began pushing the giant crab off of the tower when everyone started yelling at me to stop. I just didn't want it to get back up again. So I put it back where it went with the bird lady under it until she apologized to me. I let her out. Everyone went back down to the main room and I decided to blow the giant horn. It sounded like a whale and I felt something wash over me like a wave of ocean water. It seemed pleased with me. I went back downstairs where my friends found another secret door. This one was a vertical tunnel. The bird lady and short witch were about to go down when suddenly I was in front of a stone door with ghosts holding me aloft! I slammed the door open to find a bunch of stuff. And teeth. There was a massive set of shark's teeth. I pulled the chain in the middle of it and they talked to me. Then all of the other teeth came off of the wall and started snapping after my friends. That made me angry. I crushed set after set of these snapping jaws until there were none left. After this my blue friend had his bones jumped by a ghost and was flying without wings. I hit him with a bolt of lightning expelling the ghost from his tiny blue body. The bird lady fiddled with some little plates next to the big teeth and told me that I could pull the chain again. The teeth told me to pull the other chain so went searching the room for another chain. When I couldn't find it I went back to the teeth and pulled both levers and yet another secret door appeared. I went through the hall and opened a door to find another bird lady flying outside the tower. She used some of her witchcraft. I didn't know what she was doing but being in close quarters like this hallway could be deadly for my friends. I leaped from the tower wrapping the bird lady with a mighty bear's embrace and we plummeted. I saved my friends one last time. The sea is cold.

HHHUUUUZZZZAAAAHHHH!!! Greetings kind folks. Doctor Stumbleduck Wetnoodle Brown here. I am sad to say this will be the last entry I make in this journal. I have decided to retire from adventuring to pursue my dreams of being a famous inventor. The wealth I have earned during my days saving the world is more than enough to get started. So I will trade sleepless cold nights on the ground, and getting hit by monsters and ghosts, for warm cozy nights in bed and time in my shop. As I part from my companions I do so with great respect for all of you. I pass on the Gnome Tome of entrapment to the devil bird. At first I was terrified of her, but shes not so bad. Stumbleduck out.

I've been searching the country side for quite some time now looking for this group of adventurers. My order has heard a few tales of what they have accomplished and believes they may be of help in the future. I have been assigned to assist them and help keep them alive. I have found a group that matches the description I was given, however I'm not sure these are the right adventurers. They seem to be rather careless and keep jumping into the sea to fight a shark. Is this truly the will of the gods that they have survived as long as they have, or is it just blind luck? I lean towards the latter. However I am here now and hopefully i can get this group of rag tag "adventurers" into a properly functioning team with a purpose. That may be easier said than done however because it would seem the giant and the child wish to go back into the sea, where they have found a secret cave and what they describe as a mechanical crab guarding it. Lord help us.

I'm awake! I thought that I would be in the halls of Pelagia by now, but I guess it isn't my time yet. Where has my gnome gone? I must remember to find him. And where is the coward and the orc? They must have run off. I had such hopes that one day he would have some courage to die in battle and stop running and hiding. I have met three new friends. I have been told that we must go across the water to another pillar so I found a skiff boat so I began pulling it from the depths when I was grabbed by seaweed! And mighty seaweed it was! It began pulling me out to sea where there was a large mass of it under the water. My new friends both shot me! One with fire and the other with a dart. They have been since given their warnings that if I am shot again I will hit them with my ax. I sundered the seaweed and sent it to the depths with a mighty swing from my ax. Then I saw a mighty tiger shark speeding toward me and it bit deep into me. I woke up on the steps of the pillar only to find my crazy blue boy in the water with the shark! I jumped into action hurling a mighty javelin hitting the shark in the side, slaying the beast before it could eat my new friend and the blue one. I dived to the bottom of the water to retrieve my ax and found a couple of caves under water. I was deliberating on how to fix the holes in the bottom of this skiff boat when I appeared in a different cave on a different pillar with the blue one (who I think looks more blue than before) and the bird lady. She said not to go into the cave but I wanted to see what was inside. I found a mighty sea snake. I cleaved it's head in two with one mighty swing of my ax. I also found a dirty cloak that turns out to be magic and lets me breath water and swim very fast! I am becoming a harbinger of Pelagia! She blesses me with whale talk and now this water cloak! The cloak has made me very itchy. We found in another cave a large worm. My new friend used me to jump into the air and kick at it. I wanted to do that back but I just reached and cleaved it as it fell from his kick. I cut into it looking for what it may have eaten, finding brooch. Ahhhhh. Where has the ugly witch come from! She is hugging my new friend. I carefully slammed my ax into her back and she went limp. I don't know what these friends of mine would do without me here to kill everything that threatens them. I swam into the other cave and found a golden chest guarded by a mighty robot crab. I have told my friends about it and we prepare for our assault on the crab.

Another new friend! This one is short but full of courage and the battle lust! Finally someone that can go toe to toe with me! We attacked the robot crab and the bird lady climbed inside! Then she swam out giving me room to go in to dispatch the inhabitants. There were two goblin things with gills that hurt my bird lady friend. I cleaved each of them in two with one swing. The bird lady started dragging the chest out of the cave when some purple seaweed attacked her and grabbed me and pulled me in. I love it when monsters pull me to them. It saves me the trouble of walking or swimming to them. I mowed the seaweed down and noticed that the thing that was holding the chest was the beak from a kraken! I had to have it so I tore it from the stone. The blue one decided to go into a door so I led the way. We found a cat/dragon in a cage hanging over fire being poked by a black lady. I went for her and was shot at by some more goblin things and the black lady dove into the water summoning some goblin sharks to her aid. I dove into the water leaving the goblin things in the hands of my new friend. They shouldn't fare very well. The sharks bit into my body while I was laughing and cleaved them in two and then they disappeared. I was hungry for shark. The black lady shot up out of the water, but luckily I was there to give her a good crack with my ax and she fell back into the water. I tried blowing the shark summoning horn but nothing happened so I gave it to my musical friend with the bow. We saved the cat/dragon and went exploring in the tower again. The bird lady found a shoot with a puddle inside where my new friend and I hurled our javelins into it and it stopped moving. We looked around some more and found...well wind. With eyes. I hit it and it dissipated. I don't think I have ever fought the wind before. I guess we are the owners of this tower now. I'm told that we must find the body of the bald wizard. I have bought a new black ax. Better for cleaving people in two! My new friend has some spiked armor. He tells me that he likes to hug enemies in battle! This is going to be fun!

I'm not entirely sure still if it's courage or stupidity that drives this group's actions. I heard a saying that if you're going to be dumb, you've got to be tough. The giant one is definitely very tough. Again with going into the water, this time diving down to fight under the sea. Perhaps they thought they might find a dancing, singing crab. But no. They going a giant robot crab. I was not there for this because I would just sink and stay at the bottom of the sea. No thank you. However I hear the group did well as I stayed on the dock watching over the small blue child. Oh it would seem our group has gained a new companion as well. After disposing of the hat, I noticed another bottle with what appeared to be an angry dwarf inside. So much to my concern I opened the bottle and out came an angry dwarf. Who would have thought..... Shortly after the group went down, they came back up with a giant robot crab submarine. The devilish one let me in so I could check it out. Very splendid. This is amazing. Shortly after we searched around some more and found an evil drow trying to torture an innocent little dragon. Once the giant and the angry dwarf saw this. She did not last long. The dragon was rescued and spoke to us with its thoughts and told us it was the pet of the wizard. He agreed to help us with our quest if we agreed to help find his master. Of course this seems a fair enough deal. I feel that we are going to need all the help we can get.
